Casa Moscatera Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
Casa Moscatera is a traditional villa with modern touches situated in a wonderful countryside plot, just 10 minutes walk from the beautiful Alcudia Old Town. With 3 bedrooms, it is ideal for a family of 6. The views from the courtyard of Casa Moscatera are across open countryside to the Tramuntana mountain range and Alcudia Old Town, so you have the best of both worlds. Such a feeling of seclusion and peace and yet you are only 5 minutes walk from the unspoilt beach of Barcares and a 10-minute walk into the Old Town.
In the compact Old Town, you can visit the twice-weekly, colourful market, walk around the top of the old walls offering marvellous views, visit the Bullring, the Roman ruins, museum and amphitheatre, taste some delicious tapas, visit the beautiful church and the quaint shops. The sandstone architecture looks prettiest in the golden-hued late afternoon sunlight. Just a short drive away is Port Alcudia with the charming marina and fabulous beach.
Casa Moscatera is a lovely property with a fantastic garden and outdoor terrace. The views are lovely. It is so peaceful, and the pool is great fun with its jumping/diving board. There is some play equipment for children. The covered terrace is furnished for lounging and alfresco dining.
The delightful living and dining space is modern with a stunning, modern staircase leading to the rooms upstairs. The beamed ceilings are very attractive and give a lovely, warm ambience. The kitchen is also modern with a breakfast table. The staircase leads to an open chill-out space and bedrooms.
There are three bedrooms in total, all minimalist in design. Two are doubles, and the other is a twin. There are 2 well-maintained tiled bathrooms to share. The terrace on the upper floor boasts wonderful countryside views.
Alcudia has a fabulous wide-brimmed, silvery-white sandy beach at Port Alcudia which is one of the longest on the island. It boasts crystal-clear waters and hidden coves with impressive cliffs as well as the sandy stretches. It stretches all the way to Can Picafort. For children, there is fun theme water theme park by the water’s edge, go-karting and crazy golf.
For art lovers, the Sa Bassa Blanca Museum is a dream. It is squirrelled away, just outside town in a beautiful sprawling Hispano-Moorish building with appealing white domes, tiled floors and doors and courtyard with several styles of gardens and the mountains as a backdrop.
The museum is full of curiosities, sculptures and various collections of modern and contemporary art and photographic exhibitions. The gardens are beautiful and full of granite animals and a wish tree created by Yoko Ono, where branches are tagged with the personal hopes and wishes of visitors.
The Roman ruins just outside the Old Town are called ‘Ciudad de Pollentia’ meaning city of power. The years of excavation revealed an incredible 12 hectares of ruins from 1st century BC. Around 15 minutes on the outskirts of the city is the Roman theatre.
Every Tuesday and Sunday, Alcudia’s famous open-air market takes place. There are two sections, one for the island’s farmers selling their produce and the other for shoes, handbags, clothing, jewellery and souvenirs. It is very vibrant and good fun.
The Natural Park S’Albufera is the Balearic’s largest and most important marshland. You will find a huge variety of flora and fauna, lagoons and wild streams and signposted cycling and hiking paths as well as observation stations.
